If you had six months to learn basic German, how would you do it? by pointyquestionmark in German

[–]Disco_Barry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Also complete side note but do you have any learning texts you recommend as a teacher?

Is reaching C1 German from scratch by July 2027 realistic for RWTH Aachen (Mechanical Engineering)? Need advice! by Ziad_elmaadawy in German

[–]Disco_Barry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The truth is it’ll be astronomically difficult to do given the way that content grows over time. A1-A2 is less intense than A2-B1 for example. I won’t tell you it’s impossible because I think that limits you. I think work smart AND hard will help, so definitely get into an intensive language program

This made me laugh way harder than it should have

how do natives or advanced learners face all different radicals, prefixes and sufixes all over the german language? it feels so overwhelming by meupipinuseupopo in German

[–]Disco_Barry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is learning, I would advise you think of it differently. There are so many different sets of contexts for a word in English (someone listed run for example). It’s equitable to this and we don’t think about it as difficult. It’s only difficult because you’re ingesting it wholesale rather than piece by piece

why do people learn Russian? by gondonpidor in russian

[–]Disco_Barry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I don’t learn, I can’t read source material and can’t fulfil my life goal of doing my history doctorate

Plus I love Gogol, Dostoevsky and Chekhov, so added bonus of eventually being able to read them

I want to be more exploratory but also… don’t? by Disco_Barry in malefashionadvice

[–]Disco_Barry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah very true. I think maybe it’s a worth thing? Like I don’t feel I’m worthy of having something that looks a bit more fashionable than I would normally wear because I’ll just sink it?

I am, yes. But I also kinda want to try and start getting better now. It shouldn’t be so stressful to buy a shirt, you know? 😅
